SAN ANTONIO – An 18-year-old mentally disabled boy has been arrested in the death of his 12-year-old friend.

News 4 WOAI first told you about this case in May.

On Wednesday, San Antonio police picked up Elijio Esquedo, Jr. on a charge of injury to a child.

Investigators say he was wrestling with Juan Lara in an apartment and body-slammed him onto the concrete floor.

He is mentally disabled, he did not know what he was doing. He's not guilty of anything. He won't be convicted.

Still sounds like an accidental death to me. If the 12 yr old's mom was so worried, why was he continuing to play with this 18 yr old kid?

He'll get probation due to his "mental capacity".
